Hong Kong – where Jersey Finance will officially open an office this month

JERSEY’S finance industry will cement links with Asia this month.

Delegates from representative body Jersey Finance will visit Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China for eight days from next Thursday to promote the Island and what it can offer the Asian market.

China will be the first stop on the tour, where Jersey Finance technical director Robert Kirkby and head of Greater China business development Zhaoan Li will meet leading intermediaries, regulatory officials and give presentations at major law firms.

‘This latest visit to mainland China provides us with the opportunity to highlight those services which are most relevant to the Chinese market, such as capital re-structuring and the management of private wealth and to build on the contacts we established during previous visits to the region,’ said Mr Kirkby.

Singapore will be the next port of call for Mr Kirkby and Jersey Finance chief executive Geoff Cook. Both men will be panellists at the STEP Asia conference before opening Jersey Finance’s new offices in Hong Kong.
